Oregon To Be in Political Spotlight
As Primary Election Time Draws Near
By ZAN STARK
Salem - (UPB - Oregon will
be the center of national po
litical attention next spring
when candidates are announ
ced for the state's presidenti
al primary election.
Under Oregon's unique elec
tion law, the secretary of state
has authority to place candi
dates' names on the presiden
tial primary ballot.
The system is designed to
throttle the ambitions of "fa
vorite sons" and give the
state's residents an opportun
ity to vote on the front run
ners in each party.
Presidential hopefuls can pe
tition to have their names on
the ballot. In addition, the sec
retary of state can arbitrarily
add whomever he wants to the
list of candidates. ,
It is because of this unique
feature that Oregon is expect
ed to become a Republican
battleground next spring.
Definite Law
The law directs the secre
tary of state "to place the
names of candidates upon the
ballot when he shall have de
termined in his sole discretion
that such candidate's candid
acy is generally advocated or
recognized in national news
media throughout the United
States.
The only way a supposed
candidate can duck the pri
mary is to file an affidavit
"stating without qualification
that he is not now and does
not Intend to become a can
didate. , . "
Oregon's secretary of state
Republican Howell Appling
Jr., refuses to speculate on
the selection he will announce
next March 6.
Informed sources believe
that if Appling were faced
with making the decision to
day he would name New York
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, Ari
zona Sen. Barry Goldwater,
Michigan Gov. George Rom
ney, and Pennsylvania Gov.
William Scranton on the Re
publican ballot.
It now appears that only
President Kennedy will be on
the Democratic ballot.
In 1960, Appling announced
he would place Rockefeller
and Adlai Stevenson on the
primary ballot. Both immedi
ately withdrew their names.
Richard Nixon's name was
placed on the Republican bal
lot by petition.
Thret Nominated
On the Democratic side,
Kennedy, Sen. Wayne Morse,
(D-Ore.) and Sen. Hubert
Humphrey (D-Minn.) were
nominated by petition. In ad
dition, Appling added the
names of Stuart Symington
and Lyndon Johnson.
Oregon's primary election
next year will be held May
15, well before the Reupbli
can and Democratic National
Conventions.
While nobody expects a
race on the Democratic side,
the outcome of Oregon's Re
publican primary balloting
could prove a disaster to some
hopefuls.
Oregon's Gov. Mark Hal
field, a Republican, has been
mentioned as a vice presiden
tial possibility.
Appling didn't list any vice
presidential candidates on the
primary ballot in I960, and
nobody expects him to do so
this year.

Danger Involved
In Swimming, Diving
With summer coming. I
should note here that in this
country, each year a distres
sing number
of persons
lose their lite
by drowning.
It is particu
larly sad that
so many o
these drown
i n g s could
easily have
been avoided.
First, all chil
be taught to
Unfortunately,
do not know
how to swim; even a person
just taking a boat ride should
know how to swim well
enough so that if thrown into
the water, he will not get pan
nicky and drown.
Incidentally, it is signifi
cant that when I read of peo
ple who drowned after their
boat capsized, I generally
find a note to the effect that
the boat had too many peo
ple in it. I imagine a boat
often capsizes because some
one got up from his seat and
tried to step to another seat.
This, of course, is a foolish
thing to do.
Many times I read in the
paper that the old ferry or
excursion boat that capsized
and sank with one or two
hundred holiday seekers
aboard had been chartered
just for the day. Evidently
the boat was not sea-worthy,
or the crew - gathered to
gether for the day - were so
poorly trained that they did
not work well together.
Every week during the
summer, one can read of a
death due to a person's hav
ing dived into water so shal
low that he got a broken neck.
People also have broken
their necks by running and
diving into a swimming tank
that has no water in it. Ob
viously, a person who is plan
ning to dive should assure
himself that he is not likely
to run into broken glass,
stones, or tree stumps. Any-

one who dives into water
without knowing well how
deep it is. is very foolish.
warning Unhttded
Many people lose their lives
because they Insist on swim
ming alone, perhaps on an un
guarded beach - where there
is no lifeguard, and where
perhaps there is a dangerous
undertow. I have read many
a time that a young man
drowned because he insisted
on swimming off a beach
where a lifeguard had warned
him not to go. I, who in my
youth in Hawaii lived so
much of the time in the water
that I have no fear of it, never
cared to run the risk of swim
ming alone.
I never would swim alone
far out into a lake, and espec
ially one in which the water
was very cold. Cramps are
most likely to cripple people
who are swimming in very
cold water. Also, children
who are using an inflated in
ner tube or water toy to hold
them up should be watched,
because they can easily slip
off it into deep water, where
they can drown.
What often happens to a
person who unwisely swims
out too far is that he becomes
panicky and hysterical. Then
he thrashes about and tries to
wave and shout. A sensible
swimmer does not get pan-
icky; he treads water, or he
turns over on his back and
floats for a while, so that he
does not exhaust himself.
As we all know, many per
sons are drowned while try
ing to save someone else from
drowning. Anyone who hopes
to save a drowning man or
woman should know well the
art of taking hold of the fran
tic person in such a way that
he cannot grab him and stran
gle his would-be helper as
so often happens. The would
be life-saver should know
also how to tow a disabled
person to shore.
Should Save Strength .
one suggestion for swim
ming safely is that if a swim
mer should be caught in a fast
river current, he should not
try to "buck" it, because it
will move faster than he can
swim. He should save his
strength by drifting down
stream while at the same
time swimming diagonally to
wards a shore.
Nowadays on a lake when
on a summer evening several
motor boats are likely to be
dashing about each with a
water - skier in tow - swim
mers must keep out of their
lanes.
Experts advise that if one
is caught in an undertow, one
should try to tread water un
til the pull of the undertow
has passed, and then must try
to swim to the surface.
